Cognitive Factors in Depression

This project is ongoing.

We are interested in the cognitive biases that characterize depression and how to alter or improve these biases in adults with depression. Research investigates cognitive factors of depression using behavioral tasks, eye tracking, clinical interviews, and psychophysiology. Most projects are data intensive. That is, most projects involve a lot of data collection for which there is substantial data cleaning, processing, and analysis. A background in data analysis (conducted mostly in R) and/or coding can be very helpful. 

If you would like to be added to our RA database, please complete this form: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8qqSD85DYyATLj8. We will reach out to students in this database when openings become available.
